Renewable/ Alternative Energy
In Earth and Environmental Science class, students study alternative energy using Promethean flipcharts which is enriched through a wind energy lab from the Advancing Science Van from Gettysburg College. Using Glogster, students work in groups to create and present interactive online posters about renewable energy sources. During the project, students research their energy source, explain how it works as well as advantages and disadvantages and they create a persuasive video commercial. They use flip cameras, sound recorders, and online tools to create the project.

Extensions include a Final Assessment Writing Project which requires the students to research two articles on a renewable source of energy and write a five paragraph essay paper detailing the knowledge they gained and how the articles compare and contrast one another. A Green Design Project can also be incorporated where students must design and build a "green" structure that uses renewable/alternative energy sources and sustainable materials.
